To My Dear Sister

We woke up next to each other
Wondering what our adventures would be

We could set sail faraway
With our ship made from boxes
Battle out monsters and pirates
Together, we can conquer any land

We could dress up as heroes
Put on a cape and fly
You know we're made to save lives

We could totally be spies
Rolling around, catching bad guys
With our laser pens and jetpack backpacks

When night falls,
We'll set up tents in our room
Watching the night sky from our window
Picking out the brightest star
We drift off thinking tomorrow's escapades

Its funny where our imagination leads us
How a boring bed sheet can be a magical cave
How an old sofa can be our fort
Or how our bedroom can be as large as an ocean
We can go from a castle to somewhere in space
And we can mostly be anything we want

You made me anticipate every waking hour
Now we wake up next to each other
Without even saying "Hello"
Boxes are trash, bed sheets are for sleep
Our swords are now replaced
With technology we never even bothered
What used to be magical are now plain old things

Its unbelievable how times have changed.
